Green & Co.'S report on cotton futures SAYS:
The market has been slow and dragging pretty
much all day. Occasional indications Of an at
tempt to neutralize the declining tendency
might be noted, but it carried little influence,
and with the supply constantly overlapping the
demand, the cost went of steadily. Liverpool
was disappointing, there could be found predic-
tons of a coming addition to the volume of re-
celpts, and with actual cotton tending in this
direction in a more liberal manner, the bulls
were feeling pretty tired There was decline
OF o07 points, with no recovery, but the final
tone was steady"

CHICAGO Dec. 15.-The provision market was
the only one which displayed life at the opening
of the Board of Trade to-day. The continued
light receipts of hogs caused May pork, which
closed yesterday at Sl5 %, to open at SIS 3d. and
in the first furry it up to Sl5 3716. Shortly
after it went back to SIS Is. Then, under purely
local deals, it rose to SIS 2715 before the call
board convened. Toward the close of the morn
ing session some heavy local operators began
bulling lard. and in sympathy pork went to
SIS 52lb. The upward movement was also con-
sdered as being due to the covering done by
shorts Wheat and corn and oats were very dull
and fluctuated within the limits of &c.
Cash quotations were as follows: Flour
dull Wheat, No 2 red 77l%c. Corn. No. ., 4769c
